"If (if) the United States can assimilate the peoples of Canada and Mexico (and if people in those two countries agree, along with Americans), then a United States of America with the former countries of Canada and Mexico would be a smart move."
Where did this come from?
Presumptuous...and wrong. Multiculturalism is undermining the U.S. cultural integrity even now. Your "solution" of drinking still more multiculturalist Kool-Aid from the Globaloney School of Hegemony...is demonstrably false. The U.S. can't spread a stronger culture abroad if it can't even maintain it at home with unabated incessant attack by multiculturalists.
Bush has proved himself to be a member of their Gang. See, My Bush Epiphany by Lawrence Auster
And as for the French in Canada going into oblivion...don't count on it. As for the Mexicans wandering throughout, openly egged on to push for Re-Conquista by their government...Mexico's Undiplomatic Diplomats ...they are equally unlikely to succumb to U.S. "culture", as Heather McDonald explains.
And BORDERS also matter indepently besides the culture, and language. And that is explicitly the Open Border fantasy which you are indulging here.
China has 1.3 billion people, and India is estimated to have 1.6 billion by 2050. Competition is not only with Europe, and that subcontinent is set to only weaken in power in the future.
You indulge in liberal fuzzy thinking here. Your great idea is that our MIDDLE CLASS should be thrown to the wolves? We know how that "competition" ends up. U.S. China Trade is overwhelmed by Chinese Imports...Five to One. And the vast majority of their exports are now high technology. And thats' while we were supposedly "strong!" Just wait til we are further weakened. The empirical evidence that it is not a "mutual advantage" is never seriously reflected by the elites and special interests who tout these deals.
If (if) the United States can assimilate the peoples of Canada and Mexico (and if people in those two countries agree, along with Americans), then a United States of America with the former countries of Canada and Mexico would be a smart move.
Here you are cavalierly assuming agreement...when there is not anything remotely resembling that. And we aren't being given any choice as to the idea even so far. And everything is being decided by executive decree behind closed doors.
As for your top-down social-engineering on a grand scale...(to what end, one might ask?)...its manifestly inconsistent with all those who oppose such pretexts for bigger government, with less accountability, and more brazen disregard for true liberty. You will wind up with a vastly more massive welfare state, and a debased and prostrated middle class. You will wind up with a mess. Which of course, the Communists would love.
